Our Mission
Logistics management is a pivotal function in day-to-day operations of many businesses. While retail and eCommerce face disruption after disruption and keep coming out on top, 50 percent of trucks travel empty on their return journey and warehouses are either overfilled or standing idle.
Digitalization will allow warehousing and transportation operations to elevate customer experience, deliver more value to partners, and consequently – create an effective ecosystem of supply chain providers: manufacturers, carriers, freight forwarders, and more. Digitalization often boils down to two approaches: automation and using data.
Bleu Logistics can bring value by automating processes and using data to make informed decisions. In addition, you’ll find out how to integrate with 3PL companies if you’re outsourcing logistics operations.
When we talk about logistics, we usually mean forward direction, which includes such operations as receiving and processing an order, checking and preparing inventory, packing and picking an item, dispatching it, hiring & training drivers and selecting a transportation route that will deliver the product to a customer as quickly and efficiently as possible. Reverse direction means any operations with managing incorrect or damaged shipments, repairing items, and reusing or recycling.
In a digital world, to manage these processes in both ways, businesses use logistics management systems – a combination of software tools that optimize all processes from making an order and delivering it to a customer’s door.
Services
Order Management
Receiving and processing an order online usually includes operations of creating and editing inventory, managing customer service, accepting payments, checking for fraud, and handling documentation between manufacturers, suppliers, warehousing, and transportation companies.
Inventory Management
Inventory Management is a vital part of the supply chain responsible for controlling and documenting the amount of product for sale. Receiving, storing, and tracking inventory, while dealing with its rapid and constant changes, requires highly accurate product information management. So, automating from classic spreadsheets to inventory management systems delivers the needed clarity centralizing all the data in a single location through an inventory management system.

​
Warehouse Management
Warehouse management is a set of processes maintaining, controlling, and automating warehouse operations. This includes receiving items, moving them, managing warehouse staff using KPIs, maintaining safe work conditions, and using software and hardware to locate and track items.
​
A warehouse management consists of tools that streamline the workflow of managing goods from arrival at the warehouse through storage and tracking within the location to order management and dispatching further.
Picking
Synced with a scanning device, the software helps pinpoint items throughout the warehouse building. Tracking the barcodes assigned to items, WMS guides the order assemblers to the needed products through the optimized picking route. To ensure the correct lot is selected, pickers doublecheck it: on scanning the attached barcode, the system verifies it. In terms of velocity, batch picking function can be a real timesaver, as it allows for picking many orders in a single run.
Labor Management
Supervising the human side of warehouse operations entails the use of a labor management system integrated into WMS. First, the system assigns tasks to individual warehouse workers using workforce planning and scheduling capabilities. This allows you to track productivity, identify underperforming shifts or workers. The task history environment shows employees’ entire history of activities that can be used for analyzing peak labor, optimizing workflow, and finding solutions where obstacles come into play. In the long run, it will increase productivity and efficiency while lowering labor costs.
Shipping Method
Bleu Logistics figures out from a variety of transportation logistics options the one that will fit your freight needs best. Shipping methods range from dry van freight for products that don’t need refrigeration to refrigerated freight for temperature-sensitive items; from less-than-truckload (LTL) freight for efficient shipping of smaller loads to heavy freight for oversized loads and bulk freight for large amounts of raw materials, etc.
Connecting to the
carrier network
We connects shippers with carriers providing visibility to all concerned to find the best shipping option. To decide on the cheapest carrier, there’re transportation procurement tools. These tools assist in customizing a client’s request for proposal, responding to queries, taking in proposals, and evaluating bids.
